Grip firm on the steering wheel and pull slowly off the road to the right.

The best idea to replace a tire which has a whole in it is to replace it with a new one. Reason as to why you should replace it because the tire can wear out and blow out sooner with a whole in it.
There are several things that can cause a tire to blow. -you can run over a piece of road debris or a sharp rock that'll cut the tire bad enough to blow -sheer mileage can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment. - poor wheel alignment can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment - low pressure can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow - heavy load can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow overinflation can cause it to blow just like when a balloon pops.
Eventually blow out
a pump
Then you take it to a tire shop for possible repair.
The tire has almost no traction and can blow out at any time. It will also hydroplane in very little water. A tire should be replaced when there is 2/32 tread left. A bald tire is an accident waiting to happen.
Tire may become noisy, rough riding, or it may have a bulge, or you may see the tread separating from the tire. In some instances there is no warning at all. Modern tires today rarely blow out. I have not had a blow out since 1964 and if you take care of your tires by keeping them at the proper pressure and rotate and inspect them every 10,000 miles, you should never have a blow out.
Most BMX tires are loose on the rim and have to be straightened as you blow them up. I blow up very slowly and rotate and straighten the tire as it gets inflated more.
Highly unlikely
Inaccurate pressure can cause poor mileage, uneven tire wear, or a tire blow-out. To prevent these events from happening it is important to maintain proper tire pressure.
